• The Void Race, led by Xu Wu, immediately kneels and loudly welcomes the Main God, deliberately demonstrating their allegiance and warning the other races not to oppose him.
• The eleven True Lords are alarmed. They had expected to negotiate privileges and autonomy with the new Main God, but the Void Race’s actions and the Main God’s overwhelming presence suggest that he may rule harshly.
• The True Lords had hoped to preserve control over their own races, avoid being forced to kneel, and negotiate fair access to cultivation resources. Their concerns are intensified by memories of Jiang Wang’s destructive rule, which left the True Realm Domain weakened and incomplete.
• Jiang Liu initially hesitates over the Void Race’s formal submission, but after seeing the other races’ reactions, he decides that strict hierarchy may be necessary.
• Feng Jiu attempts to speak on behalf of the True Realm’s races and living beings, but Jiang Liu instantly destroys her Divine Physique with an irresistible aura, leaving only her remnant soul.
• Shocked, the other True Lords immediately kneel and repeat the Void Race’s greeting.
• Jiang Liu captures Feng Jiu’s remnant soul with a hand of pale light and coldly asks what she wished to discuss.
• Terrified, Feng Jiu abandons her previous assertiveness, begs for forgiveness, and regrets having taken the lead. She realizes that even her remaining soul may be destroyed if she fails to appease him.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu: Establishes himself as an overwhelmingly powerful and authoritarian Main God. He remains concealed behind a phantom rather than revealing his true body, emphasizing both mystery and control.
• Feng Jiu: Changes from a representative willing to negotiate for the True Realm’s interests into a desperate, submissive survivor after her body is destroyed. Her fear reveals the consequences of challenging Jiang Liu.
• The Eleven True Lords: Initially consider demanding autonomy and privileges, but Feng Jiu’s punishment immediately crushes their confidence. They submit without resistance.
• The Void Race: Their early, unquestioning submission proves strategically effective, placing them in contrast with the True Lords’ hesitation and political ambitions.
• The True Realm’s races: Their collective kneeling demonstrates how quickly resistance and independence collapse in the face of overwhelming power.

Significant Themes

• The danger of defiance: Feng Jiu’s destruction shows that even a powerful True Lord cannot challenge the Main God without catastrophic consequences.
• Autonomy versus centralized rule: The True Lords wish to protect their races’ independence and resources, but the chapter suggests that such hopes may be impossible under Jiang Liu’s reign.
• Historical trauma and renewal: The True Realm Domain has been damaged by previous rulers, particularly Jiang Wang. Although a new Main God may restore it, the inhabitants fear that recovery could come at the cost of their freedom.
• Hierarchy and political control: Formal rituals such as kneeling and welcoming the Main God become symbols of the new order Jiang Liu intends to impose.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu and the True Realm races: Though he does not directly address all of them, his attack on Feng Jiu forces every race and True Lord to recognize his dominance.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu confronts Feng Jiu, whose remnant soul is trapped in his hand after she attempted to negotiate with him despite only recently entering the Unity Realm.
• Feng Jiu claims she had merely wanted to discuss a ceremony welcoming Jiang Liu as the new Main God, but Jiang Liu immediately suspects she is lying.
• He warns her that deception will bring severe consequences. Unable to decide whether to confess or continue lying, Feng Jiu ultimately remains dishonest.
• Jiang Liu uses an illusion realm to extract the truth from Feng Jiu without damaging her soul. The revelation exposes the real reason she had stepped forward and confirms that the Phoenix Clan had ulterior motives.

• Jiang crushes Feng Jiu’s remnant soul, killing her completely, and then asks the remaining races to explain the situation within the True Realm Domain.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu demonstrates absolute authority, ruthlessness, and confidence in his position as Main God. He is willing to punish an entire race for the actions of its leader but also shows limited mercy toward those who submit peacefully.

• Feng Ba becomes terrified and submissive, abandoning any defense of Feng Jiu in favor of protecting the Phoenix Clan.
• Xu Wu acts as Jiang Liu’s obedient military commander, immediately carrying out the order to seize the Phoenix Clan and occupy the Phoenix Domain.

Significant Themes

Chapter Summary: The True Realm Domain’s Current State (I)

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu crushes Feng Jiu’s remnant soul after her confrontation with him. He then asks the surviving leaders of the various races to explain the current situation in the True Realm Domain.

• Jiang Liu accepts Di Yue’s assistance and begins traveling toward the first domain while Di Yue explains the True Realm Domain’s condition.
• The chapter reveals that the True Realm Domain is unstable and damaged. Earlier conflicts—including the Jiang Clan’s invasion and the destruction of the Other Shore Sea of Blood—have left behind dangerous regions and numerous Void Rifts.
• Jiang Liu has imprisoned the Phoenix Clan and killed Feng Jiu partly to destroy the previous balance of power. Since the Phoenix Clan was the strongest race, suppressing it could help him impose peace more quickly.
• Other leaders, worried that Di Yue will gain too much influence by being the sole guide, decide to follow Jiang Liu as well. They agree that only the True Lords and Unity Realm elders should accompany him, while the rest return to their clans to prepare a formal welcome.

• Di Yue: Reveals his ambition and resentment toward Feng Jiu. He sees Feng Jiu’s death and the Phoenix Clan’s imprisonment as an opportunity to gain Jiang Liu’s approval and improve the Dark Star Race’s status.
• Feng Jiu: Her final remnant soul is destroyed, confirming the complete defeat of the Phoenix Clan’s representative and the collapse of their former dominance.
• Chi Lun, Que Hei, Dun Tian, Ao Che, and Yi Kong: Their reactions show the competing leaders’ concern over political influence. They cooperate to ensure that Di Yue does not monopolize Jiang Liu’s attention.

Significant Themes

• Ao Che proposes a limited delegation of powerful representatives, and Yi Kong supports him. The group then divides responsibilities between accompanying Jiang Liu and preparing their clans to receive him.

Summary

• As more figures arrive, they adopt human forms after seeing Jiang Liu’s humanoid manifestation, hoping to appeal to his apparent preference for the Human Race.
• Ao Che appeals to Jiang Liu for justice on behalf of the Dragon Domain. Jiang Liu agrees to confront the Jiang Clan, intending both to avenge the True Realm’s suffering and to investigate the clan’s suspicious practices.
• Jiang Liu is confident he can now defeat or at least withstand Jiang Wang, having previously fought him to a draw before fully merging with the Chaos Void Godhead.
• Jiang Liu presents himself as the protector of the entire True Realm Domain, not merely the Dragon Clan, since many domains suffered during the Jiang Clan’s invasion.
• After receiving thanks from Ao Che and the other True Lords, Jiang Liu warns the various races not to oppress beings from smaller domains.
• He then raises the issue of rewarding the Phoenix Clan for its role in resisting the Jiang Clan and asks the assembled leaders how the matter should be handled.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu becomes increasingly suspicious and politically calculating. He recognizes the Jiang Clan’s possible corruption by the Devil Race and plans to use the conflict as an opportunity to investigate them, strengthen his authority, and win the support of the True Realm’s inhabitants.
• Di Yue serves as the source of crucial information about the True Realm Domain and the Jiang Clan’s invasion. Jiang Liu’s warning about oppression appears to make Di Yue uneasy, suggesting he may have past involvement in such conduct.

• Leadership and protection: Jiang Liu defines his role as safeguarding all inhabitants of the True Realm, while also demanding that its powerful races stop exploiting weaker domains.
• Power and resistance: The True Realm’s inability to repel the Jiang Clan demonstrates the clan’s overwhelming strength, while the Phoenix Clan’s resistance shows the importance of collective opposition.
• Unity and social hierarchy: Jiang Liu attempts to bring the various races together under his authority while challenging their oppression of smaller and weaker domains.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu and Di Yue: Di Yue explains the True Realm’s condition, while Jiang Liu silently evaluates the implications and later directs a warning about oppression toward him.
• Jiang Liu and Ao Che: Ao Che makes an emotional appeal for justice, and Jiang Liu accepts, establishing a protective relationship between the new Main God and the Dragon Clan.
• Jiang Liu and the True Lords: The True Lords thank him for defending the True Realm. Jiang Liu responds modestly but uses the moment to assert moral authority and demand better treatment of weaker beings.
• Jiang Liu and the Phoenix Clan: Though they are not directly present in the exchange, Jiang Liu recognizes their wartime contribution and begins considering how to reward them.
• Jiang Liu versus the Jiang Clan: The coming confrontation is framed as both retaliation for the Dragon Domain and an investigation into the Jiang Clan’s suspected connection with the Devil Race.

• Chi Lun opposes leniency and calls for the Phoenix Clan to be punished, reflecting the Dark Wolf Clan’s hostility toward them.

• The True Lords return to their clans to organize the campaign, motivated both by fear of Jiang Liu and by the possibility of gaining his favor and greater resources.
• Di Yue remains behind to provide Jiang Liu with information about the True Realm’s current situation.

Character Developments

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu orders Xu Wu of the Void Race to escort the Phoenix Clan to the Phoenix Domain, seize control of it, and supervise preparations for their eventual relocation to the Jiang Clan Domain.
• Jiang Liu questions Di Yue, a True Lord of the Dark Star Race, about the True Realm Domain’s actual condition. He relies on Di Yue because the Dark Star Race is dispersed throughout the entire realm and possesses unmatched information about its races and territories.
• Di Yue explains that the True Realm Domain has remained in extreme danger since the outbreak of the Other Shore Sea of Blood. The resulting remnant souls and resentful spirits threatened the survival of every race, which is why the races united to destroy them after the sea was eradicated.
• The True Realm’s laws and rules were severely damaged by the Law of Destruction after the fall of the former Chaos Void Lord God, Ji Tuo. This erosion caused the realm to become an Incomplete True Realm and made the birth of Unity Realm experts extremely difficult.

• Xu Wu continues to act as a loyal subordinate, immediately carrying out Jiang Liu’s orders regarding the Phoenix Clan.
• The Phoenix Clan is now under Jiang Liu’s authority and faces relocation to the Jiang Clan Domain.

• Hidden truth versus official reports: Jiang Liu seeks Di Yue’s unfiltered account rather than the polished information normally presented by the various races.
• Burden of connection and responsibility: Jiang Liu’s growing bond with the True Realm Domain suggests that ruling and restoring it may carry consequences for his own destiny.

• He fortifies himself with the Chaos Void Sutra and transforms the Chaos Mirror into armor, wary of the unknown threat.
• A powerful disturbance suddenly erupts inside Jiang Liu’s Spirit Sea Space. Although his Spiritual Avatar suppresses it, Jiang Liu is alarmed because almost no one in the Void Realm should possess the strength to affect him in this way.
• Jiang Liu activates the Chaos Void Divine Domain, causing his aura to spread across the True Realm. The True Lords and Unity Realm experts sense the overwhelming power and assume their Main God is engaged in battle.
• A mysterious white-light figure manifests in the void and reveals that he has been observing Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu identifies him as Dao Ancestor, despite Dao’s ability to enter the Void Realm without being detected by the Void Realm Heavenly Dao.
• Dao’s appearance suggests that the Void Realm’s former restrictions—particularly the iron law preventing outside forces from interfering with Main Gods—have been abolished or disrupted.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu demonstrates extreme caution and growing confidence in his strength. Having fused with the Chaos Void Lord God’s Godhead, he believes only the three Forbidden Main Gods could normally surpass him.

• He discovers that the technique, the Chaos True Canon, appears to be the original source from which all other cultivation methods derive.

Chapter Summary: “Cultivation Challenges of the Chaos True Canon, Void Upheaval”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu reads the entire Chaos True Canon, but experiences no obvious reaction. Unlike previous cultivation techniques, it does not resonate with the Chaos Void Laws in his body or with the surrounding Law Power.
• Confused, Jiang Liu wonders whether he has become dependent on the Data Panel and no longer knows how to cultivate without it. This doubt grows increasingly powerful, unknowingly causing faint strands of Law Power to surge through his body.
• Reflecting on his cultivation history, Jiang Liu realizes that most of his rapid progress—from the beginning of cultivation to the Lord God Realm—was aided by the Data Panel. He begins to question how much of his success came from his own ability.
• Determined to uncover the Canon’s secrets, Jiang Liu analyzes its words and sentences in detail, convinced that a technique passed down by the Supreme Dao Gate must contain profound mysteries.
• While Jiang Liu remains absorbed in the text, his uncontrolled Lord God aura destroys passing starstones before they can approach him. His lack of restraint causes the surrounding void to tremble violently.
• Powerful creatures or forces begin approaching the True Realm Domain, creating a major disturbance. Former clan heads of the Twelve True Lord Clans gather on the domain’s boundary wall to investigate.
• These clan heads had been preparing to obey Jiang Liu’s order to mobilize against the Jiang Clan. They are anxious because the Jiang Clan is powerful, Jiang Wang is an established Lord God, and the newly appointed Main God may soon face retaliation.
• A terrifying roar erupts from the depths of the void, leaving everyone present shaken and signaling the arrival of the approaching threat.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu: Experiences an unusual crisis of confidence. For the first time, he doubts his own cultivation ability and recognizes his long-standing dependence on the Data Panel. His intense focus on understanding the Chaos True Canon also causes him to lose awareness of his surroundings and unconsciously release overwhelming power.
• The former clan heads: Their obedience to Jiang Liu is motivated not only by loyalty but also by fear of punishment and clan destruction. They remain cautious and politically aware, especially regarding the Jiang Clan’s hidden influence through Jiang Wang.
• Jiang Wang and the Jiang Clan: Though not physically present, they are established as a major looming threat. Jiang Wang’s supposed separation from the Jiang Clan is viewed as merely symbolic, while the clan continues to expand its power.

Significant Themes

• Dependence versus self-reliance: Jiang Liu questions whether his achievements truly belong to him or were primarily made possible by the Data Panel.
• The limits of understanding: The Chaos True Canon appears simple on the surface but may conceal mysteries beyond Jiang Liu’s current comprehension.
• Uncontrolled power: Jiang Liu’s unconscious aura demonstrates how dangerous a Lord God’s strength can be, even without deliberate action.
• Political fear and survival: The True Lord Clans follow Jiang Liu’s orders because failure could lead to annihilation, while the Jiang Clan’s influence creates constant uncertainty.
• Approaching upheaval: The disturbance in the void suggests that Jiang Liu’s cultivation or presence may have attracted a powerful enemy or triggered a major crisis.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu has no direct interaction with the other characters in this chapter, remaining completely absorbed in the Chaos True Canon.
• The former clan heads gather together and discuss the unknown disturbance, with Peng Li openly asking what is approaching. No one can provide an answer.
• Their collective thoughts reveal their shared concern over Jiang Liu’s upcoming confrontation with the Jiang Clan and their uncertainty about why he has not appeared despite the disturbance.
• The chapter ends with the group reacting to the terrifying roar from the void, setting up the arrival of a powerful new force.

• Jiang Liu determines that the creature is probably only slightly stronger than an ordinary Unity Realm cultivator, despite possessing an aura powerful enough to intimidate the True Realm Domain’s experts.
• The creature’s presence and the disturbance it caused remain suspicious, prompting Jiang Liu to investigate rather than immediately destroy it.
• The Chaos Divine Axe follows up with three powerful attacks, injuring the creature and weakening its aura. Despite this, the creature refuses to reveal its true form.
• Jiang Liu orders the Unity Realm cultivators of the True Realm Domain to attack. Di Tian responds first, charging into battle, while the others follow reluctantly.
• Di Tian takes command of the assault, urging everyone to increase their power and force the creature to reveal its original form. The cultivators unleash their Laws and weapons in a massive combined attack, creating a battle of destructive, world-shaking proportions in the void.

Character Developments

He also uses the encounter as a test of their courage and usefulness before his planned attack on the Jiang Clan Domain.
• Jiang Liu grows increasingly dissatisfied with his Unity Realm subordinates, viewing them as nearly useless because of their fear and lack of initiative. Nevertheless, he intends to keep them temporarily and may train replacements if they continue to perform poorly.
• Di Tian distinguishes himself by acting decisively the moment Jiang Liu gives the order. His eagerness reflects both courage and ambition: he hopes to gain Jiang Liu’s favor and potentially establish himself as a leader among the Unity Realm cultivators.
• The other Unity Realm cultivators are shown to be cautious and fearful. They resent Di Tian for acting without warning, yet quickly join the battle to avoid appearing cowardly before Jiang Liu.

Significant Themes

• The Unity Realm cultivators are shown to be unable to contain or investigate the Godslaying Trout independently. Their practical role shifts back to preparing for the coming conflict with the Jiang Clan Domain.

Significant Themes

• Jiang Liu assists by sending him Chaos Void Law Source Power, whose unique ability to fuse with other laws restores and strengthens Yao Ben’s technique.

• By comparing the vision with Zou Yan’s earlier deductions, Yao Ben determines that the event originated near the God-Burying Domain.
• This strongly suggests that the mysterious creatures are directly connected to the approaching Forbidden God War.
• Jiang Liu leaves the Spacetime Domain after obtaining the information and returns toward the True Realm Domain to prepare and think through the implications.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu respects Yao Ben’s distance and leaves immediately, carrying the new information back to the True Realm Domain.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu returns to the True Realm Domain and confirms that no major new disturbances have occurred there. He leaves the various races to deal with the consequences of recent upheavals themselves.
• As the Forbidden God War approaches, strange events are becoming increasingly common. Jiang Liu realizes that the missing members of the Devil Race and the absent Main Gods may soon return.
• The appearance of the unknown creature and the turmoil in the Void Realm and Devil Realm convince Jiang Liu that the coming Forbidden God War will be more dangerous and complicated than the historical records suggest.
• Jiang Liu reflects on the war’s reputation as a “meat grinder” for Main Gods and Devil Ancestors. Almost no one is known to have survived previous cycles besides the Three Great Forbidden Lord Gods.
• He concludes that he cannot rely on Dun for protection. Dun selected him primarily to preserve the Chaos Void God Clan’s legacy and to pursue his own goals in the Forbidden God War; he may abandon Jiang Liu when necessary.
• Determined to improve his chances of survival, Jiang Liu considers the Chaos True Canon, a cultivation inheritance connected to the mysterious Supreme Dao Gate in his Spirit Sea Space.
• Jiang Liu has long suspected that cultivating the Chaos True Canon might be a trap or might transform him into a new Forbidden Main God, replacing Hun-Dun. However, with no other clear path to greater strength, he decides to cultivate it seriously.
• As he begins studying the canon, the Dao profundities cause violent changes in his Spirit Sea Space. The Chaos Void Sutra accelerates, pale light attacks the turbulent Divine Sea, and a powerful chaotic aura erupts from his body, disturbing the surrounding void.

• Dun: His motives are viewed with greater suspicion. Jiang Liu recognizes that Dun’s support is conditional and centered on preserving the Chaos Void God Clan and securing personal advantages in the coming war.
• Di Tian: Demonstrates caution and leadership by immediately ordering the others away from Jiang Liu’s cultivation site.
• Ying Mo and Peng Li: React with surprise and uncertainty to Jiang Liu’s strange cultivation phenomenon, showing their awareness of his immense status and power.
• The True Lords and various races: Treat Jiang Liu’s cultivation as a potentially lethal taboo and respond by establishing a strict exclusion zone.

Significant Themes

• Uncertainty and hidden manipulation: The origins and purpose of the Supreme Dao Gate, Supreme Dao Canon, and Chaos True Canon remain unknown, suggesting that Jiang Liu may be influenced by an unseen force.
• The cyclical destruction of war: The history of the Forbidden God War emphasizes that even the strongest Main Gods and Devil Ancestors can perish.

• Di Tian takes command of the situation, warning the others that remaining nearby could lead to death and instructing them to keep their clansmen away.
• Jiang Liu’s most significant “interaction” is with the Chaos True Canon itself, as he confronts its mysterious power and begins uncovering its secrets.

Chapter Summary: “Chaos Source Stone Manifestation”

Key Plot Points and Events

• A phantom stone suddenly manifests within Jiang Liu’s Chaos True Canon, causing a massive disturbance in his Spirit Sea Space. Jiang Liu struggles to suppress its power, and the aura leaking from him places immense pressure on the surrounding void.
• Jiang Liu suspects the phantom is a Source Stone, the essential foundation that allows a Void Realm to remain stable. He reflects on how the True Realm Domain survived because its True World Source Stone remained undamaged.
• He recalls that Source Stones possess spirits and can develop consciousness, potentially transforming into members of living races. This explains the rumor that the Dark Star Race’s True Lord may actually be the True World Source Stone.
• Jiang Liu summons Di Yue from inside the True Realm Domain. Although Di Yue is shocked that Jiang Liu can contact him from outside the domain, the chapter explains that Jiang Liu functions as the domain’s equivalent of a Heavenly Dao.
• Jiang Liu examines Di Yue with his Law Source Power, instantly perceiving the structure of his body and the circulation of his laws. This allows Jiang Liu to compare Di Yue’s Source Stone-like nature with the True World Source Stone.
• After Di Yue leaves, Jiang Liu focuses again on the phantom stone within the Chaos True Canon. When his Divine Sense approaches the tome, it finally reacts, causing the phantom to solidify.
• Jiang Liu learns that the stone is a Chaos Source Stone and immediately realizes that it contains the key to cultivating the Chaos True Canon.

• Jiang Liu also advances in his understanding of the Chaos True Canon. He recognizes that his previous failure to cultivate it was caused by not understanding the role of the Chaos Source Stone.
• Di Yue becomes more aware of Jiang Liu’s overwhelming power. Though initially frightened and instinctively prepared to resist, he quickly submits after realizing resistance is futile and that Jiang Liu does not appear hostile.
• Jiang Liu’s examination of Di Yue shows his growing ability to analyze Source Stone-based life forms and their laws.

Significant Themes

• Foundations of power and existence: Source Stones are presented as the core foundations that determine whether domains can survive or collapse.
• Authority and control: Jiang Liu’s relationship with the True Realm Domain resembles that of a Heavenly Dao, emphasizing the absolute power a Main God holds over beings within his domain.
• Identity and transformation: Since Source Stones can develop consciousness and become living beings, the chapter blurs the boundary between objects, realms, and life forms.
• Understanding through revelation: Jiang Liu’s progress comes not from brute-force cultivation but from discovering the true nature and origin of the Chaos Source Stone.
• Hidden power: The chapter reveals that Jiang Liu’s abilities greatly exceed what even Di Yue and the other True Lords understand.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu summons Di Yue and instructs him to relax while he examines his body with Law Source Power.
• Di Yue is frightened but chooses obedience, recognizing Jiang Liu’s superior strength and apparent lack of malicious intent.
• Jiang Liu uses the examination not to harm Di Yue, but to study the structure and laws of Source Stone-like beings.
• The chapter’s central interaction is between Jiang Liu and the Chaos True Canon: after repeated failed attempts, his Divine Sense finally triggers its response, revealing the Chaos Source Stone and the method to cultivate the canon.
